Evaluation Of Prezi as A Tool to Facilitate Oral Hygiene Education In Orthodontic Patients
No full textBackground: Orthodontic treatment has many positive effects on oro-facial complex. Physiological mechanism of tongue and cheeks for self-cleansing are greatly reduced due to fixed orthodontic appliances. Therefore, these appliances are responsible for poor oral hygiene among patients. As the world is changing rapidly in terms of science and technology it becomes utmost important that the health sector too agrees with this trend. Prezi is an audio-visual software which helps in creating and storing digital presentations
Objective: To evaluate the impact of Prezi software as an oral hygiene education tool among orthodontic patients.
Methods and Material: A before and after experimental study was conducted From July 2021- April 2022. Baseline data was collected using questionnaire and a health education was given using Prezi as intervention. The participants were followed up using the same questionnaire and change in their awareness was recorded. Analysis was done using Microsoft excel version 10 and SPSS version 20.
Results: A positive change which is significant was seen in the post-study (p-value = 0.0001) of oral hygiene analysis as the mean scores (pre-test = 27.94 and post-test = 33.59) increased in the test after the Prezi presentation.
Conclusions: Prezi as a presentation software with its ability to zoom into pages is an effective oral hygiene education tool for orthodontic patients. This software can be used as an alternative to traditional methods due to its ability to engage participants by virtual aids
Positive School Culture and Holistic Development of Students: A Socio-Emotional Perspective
No full textSchool culture is a set of beliefs, norms, meanings and values among students, teachers, administration and the whole ecosystem of the school. As a part of society, the school also has a culture that is crucial in shaping the personality and holistic growth of students. In fact, a child\u27s psychosocial and physical school environment, where he spends a significant part of his/her developmental year is pivotal for their overall well-being (psychosocial and emotional well-being). Several theories have also investigated the onset and emergence of morality during the early years. National Education Policy (NEP- 2020) emphasises the transmission of cultural practice in schools where the students get an opportunity to grow as a learner and develop as a fully functioning person thereby experiencing intellectual power, creativity, self-efficacy and mental well-being. This paper focuses on the role of school culture for the holistic development of students and provides an understanding of fundamental elements of school culture as highlighted by NEP-2020. Furthermore, this paper focuses on various socio-emotional strategies to foster a culture in the school ecosystem (school/classroom) that is in tune with the values and ethos of Indian society, thereby nurturing students physically and psychologically leading them to prepare themselves for life
Cost-Benefit Analysis Of Special Care And Diabetes Control By Bose Hospital In Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu
No full textThis study assesses the effectiveness and financial viability of a diabetes care program through a comprehensive analysis of patient demographics, clinical measures, cost trends, and patient experiences. Patients in the program had a mean age of 52.3 years, with a slight male predominance (54%) and a majority from middle-income backgrounds (45%). Clinical outcomes show significant improvement in glycemic control, with mean HbA1c decreasing from 8.2% to 7.1% over the study period. Time series analysis reveals a consistent annual decrease in HbA1c levels and a stabilization of cost increases after the initial implementation phase. Economic evaluations indicate a positive net present value (₹50 million), a benefit-cost ratio of 1.8, and an 80% return on investment, supporting the program\u27s financial viability. The cost-effectiveness analysis, with an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of ₹120,000 per QALY gained, confirms the program\u27s cost-effectiveness. Comparative statistics show significant reductions in both microvascular (30%) and macrovascular (25%) complications. Survival analysis demonstrates that the intervention group experienced a median time to the first complication of 8.5 years, significantly longer than the historical control group. Multivariate analysis identifies glycemic control, treatment adherence, and Socio--economic factors as key contributors to the program\u27s success. Sensitivity analysis indicates that medication costs and complication rates are critical factors affecting cost-effectiveness. The quality of life analysis shows a significant improvement in EQ-5D scores. Patient feedback indicates high satisfaction with the program and suggests that subsidized medication and lower consultation fees could further reduce financial burdens. Overall, the study highlights the program\u27s substantial benefits in improving patient outcomes and managing costs, while also identifying areas for potential enhancement to support patient financial sustainability
Formulation of Biodegradable Polymeric Nanoparticles for Cancer Therapy
No full texttherapy is always crucial. Modern cancer treatment methods require innovative approaches as a result. These days, there is a lot of interest in nanotechnology because of its potential uses as medication delivery systems, theragnostic tools, diagnostic tools, and contrasting agents. The biocompatible and biodegradable polymers that make up nanoparticles (NPs) enhance the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic qualities of medications, lessen adverse effects, increase stability, extend the duration of drug release, and decrease the frequency of dose. The FDA has approved poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) as a synthetic polymer that can be used to create NPs that are specifically targeted to a particular place for the safe and efficient delivery of medication. Numerous cancer therapies, such as photodynamic therapy, gene therapy, tumor-targeted medication delivery, and hyperthermia, can be implemented with PLGA-based nanoparticles. The preparation, characterization, and encapsulation of chemotherapeutic drugs are covered in this article along with the impact of the physicochemical properties of PLGA-based nanoparticles and how these aspects can be utilized through different preparation techniques for drug loading, biodistribution, target specificity, and cancer therapy
An Environmental Impact Assessment In India: A Modern Perspective On Legislation And Judicial Processes
No full textAn environmental impact assessment, which is or EIA, is a study conducted to forecast the effects of the project being considered on the surrounding area. EIA is a tool for making decisions since it provides a range of possibilities from the perspective of environmental contamination, from which one that is kinder to the environment can be chosen. The environmental rule of law’s theoretical structure takes into account the unique difficulties that the field\u27s inherently a polycentric and multidisciplinary nature poses for values of the rule of law that are widely accepted, like consistency in behaviour, clarity, and certainty. In this notion, the importance of the three branches of government—legislature, executive branch, and judicial branch—in bolstering or undermining the rule of law is highlighted. I create three broad indicators to evaluate the legal quality of each of these government entities\u27 instruments in order to calculate their institutions contributions to the rules of law. In order to ascertain the global ramifications, this study investigates the domestic law-reform initiatives of Indian social groups, with a special emphasis on indigenous organisations reacting to extractive industries. The Act of 1986, the notifications that were issued of 2006 in connection with the Draft Notifications of 2020, and the Act of 2005 all contain provisions regarding the right to knowledge about the environment, which the writers discuss. However, a number of interested groups and environmental experts opposed the new regulation, claiming that it undermines the efficacious EIA process. This article provides suggestions for the future while critically analysing the contentious sections of the updated draft
Characterization Of Bacteria For Bioethanol Production From Shorearobusta (Sal) Seeds.
No full textBioethanol is one of the most interesting biofuels because of its environmental benefits. It is an alternative energy source obtained from food crops, biomass, and algae that is transformed into fuel for motors. It is regarded as a long-term solution to the energy and environmental crisis, as it reduces greenhouse gas emissions and promotes environmentally beneficial technology. Shorea Robusta seeds have high carbohydrate content, making them suitable for bioethanol production. The goal of the research is to extract bioethanol from Shorearobusta (Sal) seeds. The bacterial strains A. B, C. D, E. F, G and H were screened for their fermentative property through carbohydrate fermentation test. Five of the eight bacterial isolates A, C, D , E, and H were fermentatively positive for bioethanol production. The findings indicate that the highest quantity of bioethanol production attained by bacterial isolate A was 6.9 ± 0.1% (v/v) While as minimum were recorded from bacterial isolate H 3.1 ± 0.1% (v/v). 
Blood Flow Restriction Training in Rehabilitation: Application for Injury Recovery
No full textBlood Flow Restriction (BFR) training has emerged as a novel approach in rehabilitation for injury recovery, offering a unique solution to the challenges of preserving muscle mass and strength during the healing process. BFR involves applying external pressure to partially restrict blood flow to working muscles, allowing individuals to exercise at lower intensities while still achieving significant strength gains. This paper explores the mechanisms of BFR, its application in various injury recovery protocols, the benefits, risks, and practical guidelines for its use in clinical rehabilitation. The growing body of research on BFR suggests its effectiveness in enhancing recovery, reducing muscle atrophy, and promoting functional gains, particularly in orthopedic and sports medicine contexts
The Metaphysical Influence Of Symbolism In Ernest Hemingway’s For Whom The Bell Tolls
No full textThis paper examines Ernest Hemingway’s For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940) focusing on the prominent core symbols that have been interpreted from many perspectives. The novel chronicles the tale of American teacher Robert Jordan, who enlists in the antifascist Loyalist army, and is set in the vicinity of Segovia, Spain, in 1937. He is to contact a band of guerrillas and blow up a bridge to further the Loyalist onslaught. He spends 72 hours at the guerilla camp, during which time the action takes place. During this time, he befriends Pablo, the cunning but cowardly guerrilla leader, and his brave wife Pilar, and falls in love with María, who has been sexually assaulted by fascist soldiers. After breaking down the bridge, Jordan sustains injuries, but Pablo, Pilar, María, and two other guerrillas manage to flee. He tells María he loves her again and waits for the fascist army and inevitable death. The symbols that linger over the main topics of Hemmingway’s fiction serve as a constant reminder to the reader of human progress made possible by the advancement of violent and warlike means used to destroy human life

Contextualising Autobiographical Fantasy In Ray Bradbury’s Dandelion Wine
No full textThis paper attempts to explore how Ray Bradbury’s Dandelion Wine builds its symbolic architecture, which primarily depends on the usage of myth, and tries to expose the autobiographical fantasy. This fantasy novel is autobiographical and takes place in childhood. It unravels the enigma of life and death. He highlights the awful aspect of these happenings. The protagonist, Douglas Spaulding, imagines a contemporary human being who becomes suddenly and exhilaratingly aware of the magical and wonderful world around him. Beginning on the first day of summer and ending on the last, when Douglas realises that everyone must die eventually and becomes extremely concerned about his own death, it is also a meditation on morality, memory, nostalgia, and childhood. A portion of the novel consists of vivid, colourful fantasies told in exquisite poetry. It can be challenging at times to solve the enigma. Bradbury consistently explores temporal relationships, mental telepathy, and the idea that humankind may not have fully developed
